00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			Whoever is not well mannered
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:05
			in his relationship with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:08
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will patch him up.
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10
			Will deal with him under the earth.
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			Say Wallahi you're not going to tell anybody.
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			We hear this all the time. Say Wallahi,
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:19
			you're not going to tell anybody.
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			Is there anything wrong with
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:25
			asking one to swear by Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:26
			Ta'ala in order to
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:27
			conceal
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:32
			a very sensitive secret? The answer is no.
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			But my brothers and my sisters, every best
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:38
			friend has a close friend, as they say.
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:40
			You've told this individual now,
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
			It could be so
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:45
			that he's not somebody who's reliable.
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			He has a best friend and he goes
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50
			and tells him as well. And he says
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:51
			to him say wallahi you're not gonna tell
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:54
			anybody. And then he goes to Hizba and
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:55
			so on and so forth.
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			Chinese whispers, the name of Allah is the
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			wajal is used in vain.
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:04
			This is a very bad characteristic to have,
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:05
			very bad trait.
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:07
			And Al Islam
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			has come to protect
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:10
			the secrets.
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			He has spoken quite extensively
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:17
			with regards to
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:18
			being trusted,
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:20
			and being trustworthy.
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25
			We've even been told, that one of the
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:28
			four characteristics of nifaq hypocrisy is,
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			When he is trusted, he breaks the trust.
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:39
			It's a sad reality
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			that this is now even becoming widespread
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45
			amongst those who go out to study.
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			He just can't hold himself together.
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			He tells his closed ones
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			before he actually becomes public information.
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:58
			And trust my brothers and my sisters like
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59
			a vase.
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:02
			What happens when the vase
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			smashes into the ground?
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			Can you put the pieces back up together
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			again? The answer is no, you can't.
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:11
			And that's exactly
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:13
			how broken trust is.
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			The Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:18
			He said
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:26
			If one says something,
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			he tells you, gives you a piece of
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:30
			information,
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			and then he begins to turn
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:34
			to his sides.
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:36
			Whether it's his left or whether it's his
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:37
			right.
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			This is a clear indication that this is
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:39
			what?
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:41
			A secret.
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44
			He doesn't want you to go out and
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:45
			spread this to others.
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:47
			And this is a trust.
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:48
			The Those
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			who explain the hadith they say, he doesn't
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			have to turn to his left and turn
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:54
			to his right. The fact
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:57
			that he's given you some indication is enough.
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:02
			I conclude with
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:04
			this advice
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:07
			of the mother of
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12
			Radiallahu ta'ala Anhu he said,
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19
			The Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam came to me
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:21
			while I was playing with the kids.
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:28
			He sent me to go and do something
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:31
			and I ended up coming home late to
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:32
			my mother.
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:37
			When I came to my mother,
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:40
			she asked him,
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:44
			What caused you to come late?
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:48
			Anasul Malik radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu responded back and
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:49
			he said,
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			Masin Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam sent me to go
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:57
			and do something.
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:58
			So she asked,
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03
			What did he tell you to do? He
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:05
			responded back and he said It
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:07
			is a secret
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:10
			What was her response?
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:13
			Did she say wallahi I'm not going to
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:13
			tell anybody.
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:15
			This is going to stay private.
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18
			Look at this righteous mother
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:23
			This sincere advisor Look what she said An
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			amazing advice that every single one of us
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:27
			need to take into consideration.
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:29
			She said to him,
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:37
			Do not tell anybody
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:38
			about
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:39
			the secrets
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			of the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:46
			Uhadan here is an indefinite that has now
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:47
			come in a negative context.
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:49
			And we learned this in
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:58
			It means absolutely nobody. It is generalized.
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:01
			If an indefinite comes a negative indicates it
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:04
			being in general. Indicates generality.
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			Not your mother, not your father,
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:08
			not the jinn,
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12
			Not your close ones,
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:14
			nobody That's what he means
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:16
			So Ittaqillah
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:20
			when it comes to the secrets of others,
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23
			it is a serious sin
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26
			And it is fit for that person if
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:27
			he
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:28
			constantly does this,
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:32
			that he really becomes
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:34
			close to
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:35
			those who are hypocrites
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:37
			and Allah knows best.
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:40
			The worst of those in the eyes of
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42
			Allah, aza wajal, on the day of judgement
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:45
			is a
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:48
			man who did things with his wife.
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:51
			Pay attention here with his wife.
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:53
			After all of this takes place what does
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:55
			he do? He takes this and he spreads
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:57
			it to the people. I did this with
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:58
			my wife and I did that. She said
		
00:05:58 --> 00:05:59
			this and she said that.
